An easy meal for a busy weeknight that will have your family raving!   Tender chicken breasts topped with a creamy garlic and basil spread, fresh mozzarella and a sliced Roma tomatoes, then baked in the oven to create this delicious Chicken Caprese.

Chicken Caprese

A few weeks ago I shared a recipe for Caprese Tartlets and I’ve been dreaming about those delicious flavors ever since!  So I was inspired to use those flavors to create a meal out of it.  Brillant!

Everyone was raving about this Caprese Chicken and my daughter thought it tasted like something she would order at a fancy restaurant!

My kids are always very honest about what they like or don’t like.  If I have an epic fail in the kitchen they definitely aren’t afraid to let me know so it’s really nice to hear them rave when I’ve made something awesome!

Chicken Caprese

This was an extra special treat for my daughter.  She loves cheese but hasn’t been eating it for a while because of her lactose intolerance.  Now that we seem to have it under control she was just able to take a Lactaid pill before eating it so she could enjoy it.

A meal that’s this easy to make and so unbelievably tasty will definitely be made on a regular basis.  A new family favorite to add to the repertoire!
